 Until now, I have really enjoyed all of Aden Polydoros’s works that I have read! The City Beautiful was one of my top favorite reads in 2022 and I would recommend that book to anyone. I had hoped that, just like The City Beautiful, I would be able to dive headfirst into the story and be happily led along as Polydoros seamlessly blended a Jewish centered history with fantasy and Jewish mythology, but I struggled getting into it. I am not sure if it was the pace that tripped me up or the history (history being the names and places and motives) that I had trouble following, but I became disengaged quickly and unable to get back into it. 

In no way shape or form will this be my last Polydoros book - Like I said, I have loved everything else I have read by this author, but this was sadly a miss for me. Thank you to NetGalley, Aden Polydoros, and Inkyard Press for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
